Keep them banned!

I dont want to be sat next to someone tap tap atpping away for hours. There is just no need. Your not on a flight for anything other than getting from A to B.

Apple kills the TV star!

"it's possible that French testicles are feeling the long-term effect of their owner's penchant for riding bicycles while dressed in beret and stripey jumper and weighed down under strings of onions, resting only for robust three-hour lunches of stuffed songbirds marinated in Calvados."

WOW Lester! I bet you’re a stuck in your ways old man!

Your oh-so-cliché comments certainly reflect this.

For a tech site, the opinions of the commentards scares me.

It's unbelieveable just how one sides and blinkered you techies really are!

Definately not considered opinions, just bollox.

EPIC FAIL ladies and gentlemen.

Sorry ifolk, but your choice in handset would make me think twice!

Your either a MASSIVE PIKEY or a useless fop. Either way, your choice of last decade’s tech of a limited feature phone, which has been spectacularly superseded, doesn't bode well for you.

" .......their ridiculous parents"

Any reader who has named their child in anyway that represents Apple needs to have them removed and taken into care!

W O W, people really are wankers.

Tory scum is full of shite! Nosey bastards need to keep their nose out.

Like terror groups and SOC groups don't already use techniques to circumvent these measures they wish to introduce?

It's just another way for the gov to spy on the people.

Like NFC, the fannybois claimed wireless power was a useless fad.

Now behind-the-times Slackle are claiming that they invented it, and are obviously looking to introduce the tech into the next monstrosity that is iPhone.

Behind the times as usual.

Dangerous

"I'm concerned about the young people who write to me and say they are terribly afraid, they say they can't sleep, they can't eat. Some of them have said they are contemplating suicide.

So while it's a joke to many people and a mystery to others, there is a core of people who are truly concerned."

Please make public the indentities of these people. They are clearly a danger to the public and to themselves. Lets ensure that thier rantings and beliefs stay in their heads and do not corrupt the rest of society.

A user stopped me and asked why her phone wasn't working!!

Crystal ball to the ready.

Checked the line cord, connected.

Check the power cord, UNPLUGED from the 13A mains outlet!!!!

W O W, god help her children.

Why is it that I never experience the "issues" other report?

Fast, fluid, responsive does what I want it to do!

Problem exists between the ears to those holding the device.

I dont have any issues, so what are others doing wrong?

" a thrill for those who have yet to experience the joys of, say, an iPad"

Joy of an iPad.

You need to get out more and maybe open your eyes!

"if you don't resist the almost overwhelming urge to accumulate junk."

Only the feeble minded get overwhelming urges to accumulate junk.

Clean house/clean mind.

You view were too late to market, done!

iPad = shite, got it!

"Apple's glass-fronted stores are things of beauty compared to other retail outlets"

This "fact" needs to be justified! How?

Aren't most Mall stores glass fronted?

The Slackle store in the mall in my hometown is glass fronted with the odd bit of POS.

Guess what?

The neighbouring stores are also glass fronted, with POS and promotional material in it.

So why do you imbue Slackle stores with this nonsense?

""Redesigned from the inside out, ........ into an aluminium and glass enclosure that measures just five mm thin at its edge," Apple said."

Redesigned to look like it did previously??

Oi! Apple! Alu and glass?? STILL!! You do know that its been 5-6 years of the same old shite now don't you?

"The "Inventors" of the microphone silhouette are listed as Freddy Anzures and Alessandro Francesco Sabatelli. The Reg salutes their artistic achievement."

El Reg, WTF?

SICK!

"releasing products styled to match Apple’s."

God I hope not! iPad design = EPIC FAILURE in terms of style.

Pretty little graphs mean F all.

I don't believe the sh te that I'm forced to read because my experiences do not tally with the pretty little graphs and bullshit commentary.

I've been raising these issues for years now, and was always shot down in flames because Apple could do no wrong! Sad people just waking up to what was obvious all along.

My experience is that academics (which we all know are good at one thing only with ZERO common sense) "execs" (who we all know are those responsible for poorly thought out and implemented decisions) and "fashionistas" (LAUGHS LOUDLY) who are so dumb as to be ridiculous are Apples core purchasers.

Those people who shouldn't have any say about anything.

Radical and sweeping changes are needed by Apple. They produce the OS and the core apps, and all of them are complete wank!

The only thing they don't do is produce the hardware, which is the only appealing thing to Apple purchasers, even though far superior hardware and OS exists. Proof that people do buy shit on a stick.

Oh so last decade Apple, tisk tisk tisk..

Good 'ole China!

I don't think I'd be sane living in a country that is so restrictive. I thought the nutters on the UK were bad enough! Not that our government is any better. I live in a world of the mentally ill!

I can't wait...

...for the ICO to HAMMER some company for £M's for breaking the rules, because some twonk wanted to use his iPad.

If your a BYOD'er your a tw t!

iPhone?

Hello 00's, got some more of your lot trying to sneak into the teens with their outdated and antiquated tech.

"Atari founder Nolan Bushnell has doubts over the long-term success of the Nintendo Wii U, after admitting he doesn't get the tablet-controlled console."

And if a tech head doesn't get it, the absolutely thick as pigs sh te consumers won't have a clue, or the brain cells to investigate.
